Best of Apex Magazine

Volume 1

2016

Whether wandering down endless stairwells, searching for answers in the desert, or reaching out to the stars, for more than six years Apex Magazine has entertained readers with stories that are strange, beautiful, shocking, and surreal. Now, for the first time, editors Jason Sizemore and Lesley Conner are collecting the award winning and nominated stories, those chosen by readers as Story of the Year, and their own personal favorites into one anthology. A Veil that wipes the experiences of war from soldiers’ memories. A witch who faces down both God and the devil to save a soul. A swaying dance that crosses the galaxy to transmit a message. A vampire caught in a web of politics and law by his responsibility to his family. Within this collection, you will find 21 stories that explore what it means to love, to regret, to be human. With stories by Ursula Vernon, Ken Liu, Rachel Swirsky, Sarah Pinsker, Rich Larson, and more, Best of Apex Magazine: Volume 1 brings readers some of the best stories Apex Magazine has published so far. Cover art by Adrian Borda.

Perhaps the first thing you noticed about this issue was the striking cover art by Sunny Ray. It’s an evocative image, a young child reaching upward, painting the sky. The perfect image to set the mood for this month’s content. Jennifer Giesbrecht’s “Lazarus and the Amazing Kid Phoenix” is a superhero tale in the classic Apex Magazine style. The Amazing Kid Phoenix has a tragic origin story (perhaps horrifying is a better description) that culminates with a fast and breathtaking conclusion. In “Starpower” by Christopher Shultz the protagonist discovers a superpower that will remind you of a punk rock version of Garth Ennis’s classic comic Preacher. I’m thrilled to be able to say C.S.E. Cooney returns to our pages with “The Big Bah-Ha.” I can’t even begin to describe this one, so I’ll let the author do it: “The Big Bah-Ha is a post-apocalyptic katabasis story, complete with kiddie gangs, slingshot battles, strange clowns, Tall Ones, and one very dead (very brave) child protagonist.” She had me at “strange clowns.” Our poetry editor Bianca Spriggs has chosen the following for us this month: “Canal of Mars” by David Jibson, “La Llorona” by Rodney Gomez, “Earth, Hearing Her Children Cry Out” by Jon Olsen, and “Knights of the Smooth Hull” by Chris Phillips. Andrea Johnson interviews Jennifer Giesbrecht about this month’s featured story. Russell Dickerson interviews cover artist Sunny Ray. Michael A. Burstein rounds out our nonfiction selection with a discussion with Andrew Fazekas about his new book from National Geographic (yes, that National Geographic) titled Star Trek: The Official Guide to Our Universe: The True Science Behind the Starship Voyages. Fazekas has drawn acclaim as the “Night Sky Guy” through his work with National Geographic.

Daniel Heath Justice
Daniel Heath Justice
Author · 10 books

Daniel Heath Justice (b. 1975) is a Colorado-born citizen of the Cherokee Nation/ᏣᎳᎩᎯ ᎠᏰᎵ, raised the third generation of his mother's family in the Rocky Mountain mining town of Victor, Colorado. After a decade living and teaching in the Anishinaabe, Huron-Wendat, and Haudenosaunee territories of southern Ontario, where he worked at the University of Toronto, he now lives with his husband in shíshálh territory on the Sunshine Coast of British Columbia. He works on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories of the Musqueam people, where he holds the Canada Research Chair in Indigenous Literature and Expressive Culture and Professor of First Nations and Indigenous Studies and English at the University of British Columbia. Daniel's research focuses on Indigenous literary expression, with particular emphasis on issues of literary nationalism, kinship, sexuality, and intellectual production. His scholarship and creative work also extend into speculative fiction, animal studies (including badgers and raccoons), and cultural history. He is also a fantasy/wonderworks writer who explores the otherwise possibilities of Indigenous restoration and sovereignty. His newest book is *Raccoon*, volume 100 in the celebrated Animal Series from Reaktion Books. A few more facts about Daniel: -he's an amateur ventriloquist with a badger puppet named Digdug; -he's a lifelong tabletop RPG player whose favoured alignment is Neutral Good and favoured classes are Druid and Ranger; -his favourite Indigenous writers working right now include Leanne Simpson, LeAnne Howe, Lee Maracle, Robin Wall Kimmerer, Cherie Dimaline, Billy-Ray Belcourt, and Joshua Whitehead. -the speculative fiction writers who had the greatest influence on his imagination growing up include Octavia Butler, Ursula K. Le Guin, and J.R.R. Tolkien, and his early pop-culture loves include Masters of the Universe, Ewoks, and Thundercats; -he's a fierce mustelid partisan with a particular love of badgers—in fact, his favourite tattoo is of the badger symbol used by his character Tobhi from *The Way of Thorn and Thunder*; -he's a devoted Dolly Parton fan and has seen her in concert three times (but has not, alas, yet been to Dollywood); and -he is the proud and dedicated human attendant to three very weird and awesome dogs. In summary, he's a queer Cherokee hobbit who lives and writes in the West Coast temperate rainforest and occasionally emerges to teach and do readings. And he's good with that.

I grew up in the Midwest, although I call home a mildly haunted, fey-infested house in metro Atlanta that I share with my husband, Matthew. After receiving my Master of Arts degree in Developmental Psychology, I retired from academia to pen flights of fancy. I also edit legislation for the Georgia General Assembly, which from time to time I suspect is another venture into flights of fancy. I received the 2009 Nebula Award for Best Novelette, the 2011 and 2012 Drabblecast People’s Choice Award for Best Story, and was named the 2009 Author of the Year by Bards and Sages. The Dragon and the Stars anthology, edited by Derwin Mak and Eric Choi, with my story, “Mortal Clay, Stone Heart,” won the 2011 Aurora Award for Best English Related Work. My fiction has also received the 2002 Phobos Award; been translated into eight languages; and been a finalist for the Hugo, Washington Science Fiction Association, and British Science Fiction Association awards. My short story collection, Returning My Sister’s Face and Other Far Eastern Tales of Whimsy and Malice, was published in 2009 and has been used as a textbook at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and the University of California-Davis. Check out my fiction index for a list of all my published and forthcoming works.

Yes, I have a lot of books, and if this is your first visit to my amazon author page, it can be a little overwhelming. If you are new to my work, let me recommend a few titles as good places to start. I love my Dan Shamble, Zombie P.I. series, humorous horror/mysteries, which begin with DEATH WARMED OVER. My steampunk fantasy adventures, CLOCKWORK ANGELS and CLOCKWORK LIVES, written with Neil Peart, legendary drummer from Rush, are two of my very favorite novels ever. And my magnum opus, the science fiction epic The Saga of Seven Suns, begins with HIDDEN EMPIRE. After you've tried those, I hope you'll check out some of my other series. I have written spin-off novels for Star Wars, StarCraft, Titan A.E., and The X-Files, and I'm the co-author of the Dune prequels. My original works include the Saga of Seven Suns series and the Nebula Award-nominated Assemblers of Infinity. I have also written several comic books including the Dark Horse Star Wars collection Tales of the Jedi written in collaboration with Tom Veitch, Predator titles (also for Dark Horse), and X-Files titles for Topps. I serve as a judge in the Writers of the Future contest. My wife is author Rebecca Moesta. We currently reside near Monument, Colorado.

Hi, I'm Eileen! I write in a variety of genres, but my favorites are paranormal, horror, science fiction, and urban fantasy. My first novel, Haunted, came out this past spring! I'm also a submissions editor for Apex Magazine. I currently live in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, while my husband, an astrophysicist, does a post-doc at the University of Alabama. Before moving here, my sports love was baseball (GO RED SOX!) However, since football is the lingua franca around here, I started watching the team, and now I'm hooked. Roll Tide!!! I have two children: Kolbe, who is nine, and Josie, who is seven. They're wonderful and exasperating and surprise me every day! When I'm not writing, I can often be found fangirling online about my current pop culture obsessions. Right now I'm a huge fan of Elementary, Sherlock and Doctor Who. I also love to read, sing (pretty well!) and play guitar (very badly).

Troy Tang writes speculative fiction in a variety of styles, from the wryly romantic to the insidiously horrific, but tends to take himself in a very cavalier way. His specialties include never being entirely serious about anything, writing down whatever comes to his mind at the moment, and musing on the joys of good storytelling. Born in Singapore, he moved to California for toddler initiation, went back to Singapore for primary school, flew to Auckland, New Zealand for intermediate and high school, zipped on back to Singapore to complete his mandatory army service and at last rolled back to Auckland when it became clear that his days of never actually settling in a single place were not over. He likes to think that this bifurcation has given him some new and rarefied perspective on life, but it has not. He looks forward to meeting you all.

Számottevő eredményeket ért el a török nyelvészet és dialektológia területén, fél évszázadon keresztül volt a budapesti tudományegyetemen a török filológia tanára.
